Display device and method of operating and manufacturing the display device

A display device, comprising:

• a pattern panel comprising display pixels;
• a substrate disposed below the pattern panel;
• a sensor panel disposed below the substrate configured to sense N images from input light that is received through a portion of the display pixels, N being a natural number, wherein the portion of the display pixels allows the input light to pass and another portion of the display pixels does not allow the input light to pass;
• a display controller configured to control at least the portion of the display pixels to emit light toward the object to be scanned, wherein the emitted light is reflected from the object to be scanned, and is converted to the input light,
• an image creator to create a full image of the object by partially overlapping adjacent images among the N images;
• a front display comprising the pattern panel to display the created full image;
• and
• a rear display positioned on the opposite side of the pattern panel to display at least a portion of the created full image, and wherein the pattern panel comprises organic light emitting pixels, each of which comprises an infrared (IR) unit to emit IR light.

A method of operating a display device, the method comprising:

• sensing N images from input light that is received in association with an object to be scanned and is received through a portion of display pixels, N being a natural number, wherein the portion of the display pixels allows the input light to pass and another portion of the display pixels does not allow the input light to pass;
• creating a full image of the object to be scanned based on the N images;
• and
• displaying the created full image in a front display comprising a pattern panel, and displaying at least a portion of the created full image in a rear display positioned on the opposite side of the pattern panel,
• controlling at least a portion of the display pixels to emit light toward the object to be scanned using an infrared (IR) unit to emit IR light, wherein the emitted light is reflected from the object to be scanned, and is converted to the input light,
• wherein the creating comprises creating the full image of the object to be scanned by partially overlapping adjacent images among the N images.

A method of manufacturing a display device, the method comprising:

• forming a pattern panel comprising display pixels;
• forming a substrate disposed below the pattern panel;
• and
• forming a sensor panel disposed below the substrate to sense N images from input light that is received through a portion of the display pixels, N being a natural number, wherein the portion of the display pixels allows the input light to pass and another portion of the display pixels does not allow the input light to pass;
• controlling at least a portion of the display pixels to emit infrared (IR) light, using an IR unit, toward the object to be scanned, wherein the emitted light is reflected from the object to be scanned, and is converted to the input light,
• creating a full image of the object to be scanned by partially overlapping adjacent images among the N images;
• and
• displaying the created full image in a front display comprising the pattern panel, and displaying at least a portion of the created full image in a rear display positioned on the opposite side of the pattern panel.

A method for capturing an image using a display screen, the method comprising:

• capturing an image on a sensor panel by receiving light that has passed through a transparent display pixel in a display panel comprising the transparent display pixel and an opaque display pixel, wherein the received light originates from the display panel,
• displaying the received image together with the receiving light that has passed through the transparent display pixel, and
• controlling at least a portion of display pixels to emit infrared (IR) light, using an IR unit, toward the object to be scanned, wherein the emitted light is reflected from the object to be scanned, and is converted to the receiving light,
• creating a full image of the object to be scanned by partially overlapping adjacent images among the N images;
• and
• displaying the created full image in a front display comprising a pattern panel, and displaying at least a portion of the created full image in a rear display positioned on the opposite side of the pattern panel.
